Dawn Tan currently co-hosts Singapore Tonight, a one-hour programme that delivers local news and business updates.

Her media career began when she and several enterprising friends started London’s first free bilingual magazine as Editor while studying at the University of Middlesex. She has more than 18 years’ experience as a writer, and worked for Euromoney in Britain, before returning to Singapore to join the Business Times.

In her career, she has interviewed many notable personalities, including Sir Peter Ustinov, Singapore’s President SR Nathan, Gloria Magacapal Arroyo, Arundathi Roy, Marina Mahathir and Ray Charles. Dawn is an accomplished writer with nine titles to her name. Her first book was a controversial bestseller Khameleon: The Elyamani Khamis Story, published in 1993.

When Dawn is not travelling the globe, trekking the Himalayan foothills in search of Bengal tigers and Asiatic elephants, she enjoys Ashtanga yoga, Krav Maga and goes everywhere with her camera.

John Leong

John Leong is currently a co-host on Channel NewsAsia’s prime time news programme, Singapore Tonight. Prior to this, he was a senior reporter on the Singapore Desk, which produces exclusively local content for all the Mediacorp news channels.

When there are breaking news situations, John steps out of the studio to report on-location. Among some the most poignant events were his experiences covering the AirAsia QZ8501 Crash, the passing of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and the 2015 General Election in Singapore.

In a broadcast career that has spanned eight years, John has reported for radio and television, including at the former regional sports cable channel, ESPN Starsports. As a reporter covering the regional football beat, he particularly enjoyed following the Singapore National team’s progress and eventual triumph at the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup.

John graduated from the University of Queensland, Australia with a Bachelor of Journalism in 2008. Outside of the newsroom, John is an avid weekend warrior. Rarely a Sunday goes by without slugging it out on a football pitch with his team.
